Come Away With Me...

Shaken, was the cup of tomato...ah...pleasure, as lips and tomata bits meet...Speed of sound by Coldplay was playing...looking out of the window, all there could be seen was a sea of stars and stars on the sea - boats, drifting in the South China Sea...... And so began the Window on the World OEP to Shanghai...Enjoying tomato juice, listening to music on demand, it couldn't get better...(except that functions worksheet bugging me to be done). The night took off on a bad note, but now everything was flying smoothly. Woke up to breakfast. Nice sliced potatoes, horrid bland omelette. Landing was smooth, weather was chilly. But it sure was refreshing coming back to a temperate region once more. Plane was parked at a remote stand, though not that remote either. Not complaining, its ok to walk on the tarmac once in a while. Cleared immigration, collected bags, and we were off for breakfast. Finally, after a heated (plastic) meal it was time for some real terra firma food! Congee, buns and dumplings! =p Shanghai Urban Planning Centre was the same as when I last went. Nothing new noticed except the PVG model. Walked around People's Square with my group. Next was the Science and Tech Museum, a gargantuan building that had a huge glass spere. Inside, it was really huge, too big for a museum, more suited to be a convention centre. It was fun, reading those panels on science in Chinese. Lol at least we didn't drift from theatre to theatre to sleep, unlike some others. The theory of relativity theatre was interesting, not just for the content, but more for the holographic effects. Really cool, if only we had such stuff here. The 4D theatre was boring. Already went through the whole works in Orlando. Its all over the place there - Universal Studios has a shrek show, Magic Kingdom has a Mickey Philhamagic show, MGM Studios had a muppets show, and even Epcot had a honey-i-shrunk-the-audience show. All, including this Shanghai lego one, had the usual water spray, soap suds, wind etc. $0.60 Magnum at the Museum...  That rounds up day 1. P.S. more pics coming up....soon.
